]]>This is the world’s first externally powered Space Launch Thruster, Escape Dynamics have successfully tested their combustion free spaceflight that uses high power microwave energy. The result is really promising with performance greatly surpassing the limit of conventional chemical combustion rockets. This project is a major step forward advancement in future externally powered high Isp thruster, it is also a validation for company’s efforts to change the manner of orbital launches. Dr. Dmitriy Tseliakhovich, the CEO, believes that we can develop a new propulsion technology that beats chemical rockets and can be used for orbital launch works a lab scale and eventually into single-stage-to-orbit spaceplanes. This project will certainly change the way we reach orbit.

By implementing this technology, it is possible to bring to the market reusable, single-stage-to-orbit spaceplanes. It can be just aircraft-like operations to orbit, thus, drastically decrease the cost of access to space for payloads up to 200kg.

Escape Dynamics aims to change the way we access space that has been dependent upon large, expendable chemical rockets. The company plans to take advantage of microwave energy delivered wirelessly through a heat exchanger on the spaceplane during the entire ascent through a phased array of microwave antennas located on the ground. The spaceplane won’t use chemical combustion, it will be propelled by ejecting hydrogen, heated by microwave energy, and as it flows through the heat exchanger, it will be exhausted via the nozzle to create thrust. Once a spaceplane reaches orbit and deploys payload, it’ll glide back to the launch pad, refuel, and be ready for next mission.

Recent tests conducted by Escape Dynamics demonstrated a full sequence of operation of an externally powered propulsion system. Energy was drawn from electric grid, then converted into microwaves using a gyrotron, guided through a system of beam shaping mirrors continue beamed from an antenna to a thruster. The microwave energy is converted into thrust using a thermal thruster that uses a highly efficient microwave-absorbing heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has been designed to capture more than 90-percent of the incoming microwave energy, heating the propellant flowing through it towards the nozzle.

]]>We just come across a cool submarine, designed by Rashid Tagirov for Russian waters. This conceptual submarine not only protects Russian sea waters but also can be used for rescue operations. You can read more details about the project below in Tagirov’s own words.

Multipurpose supercavitating submarine “Bullet” has been designed to provide security in the Russian waters and perform various tasks.

According to the scenario, in 2025, Russia has been adjusted production of hydrocarbons in the Arctic, modern technologies allow us to build a high-tech facilities under the water, which facilitates the extraction of resources and led to the emergence of small settlements near the submarine platforms.

Building attracted the attention of opponents holding, according to recent data, the underwater vessels whose speed exceeded Russian counterparts. The appearance of villains near platform has not gone unnoticed, continuous pursuit of submarines failed, prompting the engineers and scientists from across the country to take up the development of a new submarine.

Designer : Rashid Tagirov

After 3 years on the water was lowered submarine “Bullet”. The features of this model are non-standard layout, a new type of collapsible propeller, the ability to change a step, that is, the angle of the blades, the equipment creates a magnetic field in the water column, which “pushes” submarine making less noise than when using the screw, and use of the principle supercavitation to achieve high speeds.

How does this happen?

In the bow of the submarine is a special item – cavitator. This elliptical shape thick flat plate with sharpened edges. When you reach a certain speed (about 80 km/h) near the edge of the cavitation plate reaches such intensity that formed a giant “bubble” enveloping torpedo. Thus hydrodynamic resistance to movement is significantly reduced.

To effect worked air “bubble”, covering the submarine must have a diameter two to three times greater than its body. The idea here is to constantly “blow” bubble diverting the engine exhaust gases to bow.

The submarine can be equipped with torpedoes, mines, and other weapons where it can also have the opportunity to use it in rescue operations at sea, searching for sunken objects at great depths, transportation of the rapid response team, and many more.

]]>Flying car is no longer impossible future, in fact, Terrafugia has made it pretty clear that we might be heading to that direction sooner than we thought we could be. Terrafugia TF-X Hybrid Electric Flying Car is the realization of futuristic flying car, this project aims to bring you better personal transportation with enhance safety, simplicity, and convenience. Operating this vehicle should be statistically safer than driving a car.

It’s a flying car! It means you would be able to avoid traffic jam, but it’s also designed to avoid air traffic, bad weather, and restricted airspace. Each unit will be quipped with full-vehicle parachute system that can be activated by the operator in an emergency situation. Just in case the operator becomes unresponsive, TF-X would automatically activate an emergency auto-land at the nearest airport.

Designer : Terrafugia

As a future vehicle, learning to operate TF-X should take an average driver no more than 5 hours. It should be user-friendly without complicated navigation, user would experience freedom in flight, controlling the plane similar to steering a car.

This aircraft/car can accommodate up to 4 people with a non-stop flight range of at least 500 miles. As a car, this vehicle fits into a standard construction single car garage, so there’s no need to worry on keeping it inside your house. TF-X would be able to takeoff vertically, yep, from a level clearing of at least 100ft in diameter with electric ground drive and electric power assist. Terrafugia announces that the development of TF-X can be expected to last 8-12 years.

]]>Alpha is a concept car that creates a link between a regular car and a lighter vehicle such as bicycle or a motorcycle. Due to its compact size (3000 mm length,1500 mm width, and 900 mm high ) this electrically powered single-seater vehicle would be ideal for a dynamic young population living in continuously growing cities of the future. The uniqueness of this car lies in its wooden chassis. Designed by Rustam Schogenoff, you can read his explanations about this futuristic car below.

The idea here is to replace all the complex and heavy engineering components of a vehicle by technical properties of the natural materials. One of these materials is wood. This simple material has a number of excellent building physics properties. The main ones are: strength, hardness, lightweight, elasticity, toughness, decay-resistance, and strength. It aims to smartly installed wooden limbs so that it could replace conventional chassis with complex elements such as suspensions, axles and dampers. The construction would even already incorporate all the functions of those elements. The number of technical devices used in a vehicle would be reduced, which would automatically reduce the total weight, energy consumption, the ejected gases, the energy in the production and of course the price).

Designer : Rustam Schogenoff

The wooden chassis could be formed of two wooden modules, which consist of several wooden elements and are connected to each other at a few points. Few connection points give each item clearance and thus lead to greater resilience of the overall structure. This allows the construction to have important property of deformability. The multi-body system can deform in accordance with the physical forces acting on it so that it can adapt to road bumps without additional technical components.

The flexible system of wood has been designed to be able to handle physical forces without any joints, transfer them, and also absorb them. It does not deform not due several fixed components driving this, but because the main material is pretty elastic. The wooden frame can effectively absorb the impact energy because of its light and digested fiber structure compared to rigid and immobile constructions. In addition, the construction does not have wheel-axis, which additionally reduces the total weight of the vehicle.

Due to the wood elasticity, light eight and ease of manufacture, it will be more cost-effective and eco-friendly than the current landing gear.

How such a construction will be produced?

Mankind has often managed to take advantage of nature. One of the most great examples for that is the technique called “Tree shaping” which means a tree can be shaped into any specific form. The most famous user of this technique was an American farmer named Axel Erlandson who could give his trees any shape he wanted. This technology is based on the ability of trees to grow together through the grafting.

With this technique, the nature itself becomes the cleanest, most efficient and most rational manufacturer of various objects without any artificial and polluting production processes. Theoretically, automotive industry could use the “Tree shaping” technology for the production of this “wooden chassis modules” instead of using expensive and polluting production facilities.

There could be some special forests, where the components of new generation could be “grown”. This technique is still unexplored, most likely because trees grow very slow. In fact, the slow growth of trees limits the ability of humans to use nature as a source of its products effectively and quickly. However, experiments with the wood genes give us hope to solve this problem.

The gene manipulation method is still causing some discomfort to the majority of people – that is also not without justification. Dealing with genetic engineering in the food production has brought this technology a bad reputation. In contrast, wood is a raw material that people don’t use directly, and which at the level of genes can not affect people. The prospect for accelerated growth in trees has been already given, therefore, it was confirmed by some successful experiments carried out by scientists at the University of Manchester, who managed to make the trees grow faster and bigger. The xylem of trees consists the xylem cells, they increase the division of stem cells in the cambium. The formation rate of xylem cells relies on the rate of the cell division in the cambium and depends on the genetic and environmental factors.

Scientists were able to successfully influence the genetic factor, by manipulating genes in poplars, which are responsible for the growth of trees.

These genes are called PXY and CLE. In a gene overexpression the trees grow twice as fast, higher, wider and have more leaves than normal non-manipulated trees.
